PowerConnect M8024-k Overview

The PowerConnect M8024-k is a Layer 3, 10-Gigabit Ethernet blade switch

that operates in the PowerEdge M1000e system. The M1000e system can

support up to 16 server blades and six PowerConnect M8024-k blade

switches.

6 Getting Started Guide

Hardware Overview

This section contains information about device characteristics and modular

hardware configurations for the PowerConnect M8024-k switches.

PowerConnect M8024-k has the following physical dimensions:

• 274.75 x 309.24 x 33.45 mm (W x D x H).

• 10.81 x 12.17 x 1.32 inches (W x D x H).

Internal Ports

PowerConnect M8024-k provides 16 internal 10-Gigabit Ethernet internal

ports. The 16 internal ports are connected to server blades through the

M1000e chassis mid-plane.

The M8024-k also provides an internal Ethernet interface—the out-of-band

(OOB) interface—which is dedicated to switch management. The OOB

interface is connected to the chassis management controller through the

chassis mid-plane. Traffic on this port is segregated from operational network

traffic on the switch ports and cannot be switched or routed to the

operational network.

Front Panel

The following image shows the PowerConnect M8024-k front panel:

Getting Started Guide 11

Connecting a Switch to a Terminal

After completing all external connections, connect a terminal to a switch to

configure the switch.

NOTE: Read the release notes for this product before proceeding. You can

download the release notes from the Dell Support website at

support.dell.com/manuals.

NOTE: We recommend that you obtain the most recent version of the user

documentation from the Dell Support website at http://support.dell.com/manuals.

To monitor and configure the switch via serial console, use the USB console

port on the front panel of the switch (see Figure 1-1) to connect it to a VT100

terminal or to a computer running VT100 terminal emulation software. The

console port is implemented as a data terminal equipment (DTE) connector.

The following equipment is required to use the console port:

• VT100-compatible terminal or a desktop or a portable computer with a

serial port running VT100 terminal emulation software,

such as Microsoft

HyperTerminal.

• A serial cable (provided) with a USB type-A connector for the console port

and DB-9 connector for the terminal.

Perform the following tasks to connect a terminal to the switch console port:

1

Connect the DB-9 connector on the serial cable to the terminal or

computer running VT100 terminal emulation software.

2

Configure the terminal emulation software as follows:

a

Select the appropriate serial port (for example, COM 1) to connect to

the console.

b

Set the data rate to 9600 baud.

c

Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

d

Set the flow control to none.

e

Set the terminal emulation mode to

VT100

.

f

Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys. Ensure that

the setting is for Terminal keys (not Microsoft Windows keys).

12 Getting Started Guide

NOTE: When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft Windows 2000, make sure

that you have Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later installed. With Windows

2000 Service Pack 2, the arrow keys function properly in HyperTerminal's

VT100 emulation. Go to microsoft.com for more information about Windows

2000 service packs.

3

Connect the USB connector on the cable directly to the switch console

port. The PowerConnect M8024-k console port is located on the right side

of the front panel, as shown in Figure 1-4.

Figure 1-4. PowerConnect M8024-k USB Console Port

Booting the Switch

When the power is turned on with the local terminal already connected, the

switch goes through a power-on self-test (POST). POST runs every time the

switch is initialized and checks hardware components to determine if the

switch is fully operational before completely booting. If POST detects a

critical problem, the program flow stops. If POST passes successfully, valid

firmware is loaded into RAM. POST messages are displayed on the terminal

and indicate test success or failure. The boot process runs for approximately

60 seconds.

You can invoke the Boot menu after the first part of the POST is completed.

From the Boot menu, you can perform configuration tasks such as resetting

the system to factory defaults, activating the backup image, or recovering a

password. For more information about the Boot menu functions, see the CLI

Reference Guide.

Port

Getting Started Guide 13

Performing the Initial Configuration

The initial configuration procedure is based on the following assumptions:

• The PowerConnect switch was never configured before and is in the same

state as when you received it.

• The PowerConnect switch booted successfully.

• The console connection was established, and the

Dell Easy Setup Wizard

prompt appears on the screen of a VT100 terminal or terminal equivalent.

The initial switch configuration is performed through the console port. After

the initial configuration, you can manage the switch from the already-

connected console port or through a remote connection.

NOTE: The switch is not configured with a default user name, password, or IP

address.

Before setting up the initial configuration of the switch, obtain the following

information from your network administrator:

• The IP address to be assigned to the out-of-band (OOB) interface for

device management.

• The IP subnet mask for the OOB interface.

• The IP address of the OOB interface default gateway.

These settings are necessary to allow the remote management of the switch

through Telnet (Telnet client) or HTTP (Web browser).

Initial Configuration Procedure

You can perform the initial configuration by using the Dell Easy Setup

Wizard or by using the CLI. The wizard automatically starts when the switch

configuration file is empty. You can exit the wizard at any point by entering

[ctrl+z], but all configuration settings specified will be discarded, and the

switch will use the default values.

NOTE: If you do not run the Easy Setup Wizard or do not respond to the initial Easy

Setup Wizard prompt within 60 seconds, the switch enters CLI mode.

For more information about performing the initial configuration by using the

CLI, see the CLI Reference Guide. This Getting Started Guide shows how to

use the Easy Setup Wizard for initial switch configuration. The wizard sets up

the following configuration on the switch:

14 Getting Started Guide

• Establishes the initial privileged user account with a valid password. The

wizard configures one privileged user account during the setup.

• Enables CLI login and HTTP access to use the local authentication setting

only.

• Sets up the IP address for the OOB interface.

• Sets up the SNMP community string to be used by the SNMP manager at

a given IP address. You may choose to skip this step if SNMP management

is not used for this switch.

Example Session

This section describes an Easy Setup Wizard session. The following values are

used by the example session:

• SNMP is not enabled.

• The default user name,

root

, is accepted and a password of

admin123

is

entered. The Wizard does not display the password as it is entered.

• The OOB management interface uses

192.168.2.1

for IP address

assignment.

NOTE: In the example below, the possible user options or default values are

enclosed in [ ]. If you press <Enter> with no options defined, the default value is

accepted. Help text is in parentheses.

The following example contains the sequence of prompts and responses

associated with running an example Dell Easy Setup Wizard session, using

the input values listed above.

After the switch completes the POST and is booted, the following text is

displayed:

Welcome to Dell Easy Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard guides you through the initial switch

configuration, and gets you up and running as quickly

as possible. You can skip the setup wizard, and enter

CLI mode to manually configure the switch. You must

respond to the next question to run the setup wizard

within 60 seconds, otherwise the system will continue

Getting Started Guide 15

with normal operation using the default system

configuration. Note: You can exit the setup wizard at

any point by entering [ctrl+z].

Would you like to run the setup wizard (you must

answer this question within 60 seconds)? [Y/N] y

First:

Do you want to select the operational mode as Simple

The system is not setup for SNMP management by

default. To manage the switch using SNMP (required for

Dell Network Manager) you can

. Set up the initial SNMP version 2 account now.

. Return later and setup other SNMP accounts. (For

more information on setting up an SNMP version 1

or 3 account, see the user documentation).

Would you like to setup the SNMP management interface

now? [Y/N] n

Step 2:

Now we need to setup your initial privilege (Level 15)

user account. This account is used to login to the CLI

and Web interface. You may setup other accounts and

change privilege levels later. For more information on

setting up user accounts and changing privilege

levels, see the user documentation.

To setup a user account:

Please enter the user name. [root]:

Please enter the user password:

Please reenter the user password:

console>

Next Steps

After completing the initial configuration described in this section, you can

connect any of the front-panel switch ports to your production network for

in-band remote management.

If you specified DHCP for the OOB management interface IP address, the

interface will acquire its IP address from a DHCP server on the network. To

discover the dynamically-assigned IP address, use the console port connection

to issue the following command:

show ip interface out-of-band.

To access the Dell OpenManage Switch Administrator interface, enter the

OOB management interface IP address into the address field of a Web

browser. For remote management access to the CLI, enter the OOB

management interface IP address into a Telnet or SSH client. Alternatively,

you can continue to use the console port for local CLI access to the switch.

Your PowerConnect M8024-k switch supports basic switching features such as

VLANs, 802.1X, RADIUS and TACACS+. For more information on the

features supported in Simple mode, refer to Simple Switch Mode: Port

Aggregator Feature White Paper.

If the switch is configured to operate in Normal mode, it can also support

features such as spanning tree protocol, as well as advanced Layer 3 features

such as dynamic routing and multicast. Use the web-based management

interface or the CLI to configure the features your network requires. For

information about how to configure the switch features, see the User’s

Configuration Guide or CLI Reference Guide available on the support site:
